How Cannabis and Community Support Our Veterans
Supporting veterans is essential as many continue to navigate the physical, emotional, and psychological impacts of their service long after returning home. For countless veterans, cannabis offers relief from debilitating conditions including chronic pain, insomnia, and post-traumatic stress disorder.
Trulieve is committed to ensuring veterans have access to safe cannabis products, helpful information and compassionate support. By supporting veteran‑focused organizations, we help provide resources and pathways to healing, improving the quality of life for those who have sacrificed so much.
Roll-up For a Cause
Throughout February, patients and customers in Arizona, Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, and Maryland can donate to veteran‑focused organizations Paralyzed Veterans of America and Southern Arizona Adaptive Sports. These groups provide life‑changing services for veterans living with spinal cord injuries and diseases such as ALS and multiple sclerosis, helping them lead full, independent lives.
Donate a specific amount or round up your total to the nearest dollar at the register. Join us this month to help make a meaningful difference!
Paralyzed Veterans of America (PVA) is a congressionally chartered nonprofit founded in 1946 by World War II veterans who returned home with spinal cord injuries and sought to improve life for themselves and others with similar disabilities. The organization works to empower these veterans by advocating for disability rights, helping them access VA benefits and healthcare, advancing research and education, and providing adaptive sports and community programs that improve independence and quality of life.
February donations will support the 2026 National Veterans Wheelchair Games taking place July 9-14 in Detroit, Michigan. The event features a wide range of adaptive sports and celebrates the spirit and achievements of veteran athletes from across the nation.
Southern Arizona Adaptive Sports (SAAS) is a Tucson‑based nonprofit founded in 2017 that provides adaptive fitness, recreational, and competitive sports opportunities for individuals with physical disabilities. The organization offers programs such as wheelchair basketball, wheelchair tennis, handcycling, and other community‑based athletic activities, serving hundreds of participants each year. SAAS also supports veterans through adaptive sports clinics, ongoing programming, and partnerships with the VA and local organizations to connect participants with equipment and resources.
Together for Veterans: Community Support in Action
Trulieve proudly supports local veteran organizations and will be participating in several events in February.
The American Legion is the nation’s largest veterans service organization, advocating for veterans, service members, and military families. They are committed to destigmatizing mental health support, offering peer-to-peer resources, and fighting to prevent veteran suicide.
In January, Trulieve attended the American Legion Mid-Winter Conferences in Dublin, Ohio and Duluth, GA.
On February 13, Trulieve will attend the American Legion Mid-Winter Conference in Wheeling, West Virginia.
On February 20-22, Trulieve will attend the Veterans of Foreign Wars Mid-Winter Conference in Macon, GA.
The Veterans Leadership Program empowers veterans as they navigate life’s transitions, offering the support and stability they need to move forward with confidence. Through housing assistance, wellness services, career development, and comprehensive support programs, the organization helps veterans regain their footing and live the fulfilling, independent lives they deserve.
On February 9, Trulieve will be volunteering at the Military Share Food Distribution event in Braddock, PA, providing 250 tote bags of food to be distributed to veterans.
The Grateful Veteran and Trulieve have partnered to launch the Red, White & Blue Tour – a veteran-focused educational initiative canvassing Florida. Events take place at trusted veteran community locations, including VFW posts, American Legions, and local community halls, and offer physician‑led cannabis education. The tour is designed to strengthen trust, provide reliable information, and deepen connections with the veteran community.
On February 13, the Red, White & Blue Tour will be at the VFW Sunshine Post #3233 in Sarasota, FL providing veterans with cannabis education and free certifications.
On February 28, the Red, White & Blue Tour will be at the American Legion Post #38 in Fort Myers, FL providing veterans with cannabis education and free certifications.
The Veterans Multi-Service Center is dedicated to “serving those who served” by providing vital programs, services, and opportunities to U.S. Veterans and their families. Founded in 1980 by Vietnam Veterans, the organization has grown into a strong community resource advocating for veterans’ needs, equity, and access to earned benefits.
On February 24, Trulieve will volunteer in Philadelphia, PA, providing lunch and support to 70 veterans in the community.
